Summary

In the 90s, Beanie Babies were bought and traded like stocks and became serious long-term investments for some. Unfortunately, behind these lovable cuddly creatures was also theft, fraud, and violence. The man behind this craze, Ty Warner, has a shady history of crime and deception. We dive into one of the weirdest manias of all time. Also, Ali's mom paid an obscene amount of money for the Princess Diana Beanie Baby.
